Creating persistent links: 

To share a persistent link from America's News: Flint Journal Collection, you will need to add Kettering University's proxy to ensure all users both on and off campus can access it. 

To do so, first, copy the URL that appears in the search bar for the resource you wish to share, which in this case is:

https://infoweb.newsbank.com/apps/news/document-view?p=AMNEWS&t=favorite%3A1244BFFB%21Flint%20Journal%20Historial%20and%20Current%20Collection&sort=YMD_date%3AD&fld-base-0=alltext&maxresults=20&val-base-0=flood&docref=news/1927CF74F59F18B8

Next, add Kettering University's proxy BEFORE the URL as shown below:

https://kettering.idm.oclc.org/login?url= added to

https://infoweb.newsbank.com/apps/news/document-view?p=AMNEWS&t=favorite%3A1244BFFB%21Flint%20Journal%20Historial%20and%20Current%20Collection&sort=YMD_date%3AD&fld-base-0=alltext&maxresults=20&val-base-0=flood&docref=news/1927CF74F59F18B8 equals the new persistent link:

https://kettering.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://infoweb.newsbank.com/apps/news/document-view?p=AMNEWS&t=favorite%3A1244BFFB%21Flint%20Journal%20Historial%20and%20Current%20Collection&sort=YMD_date%3AD&fld-base-0=alltext&maxresults=20&val-base-0=flood&docref=news/1927CF74F59F18B8
